Announcers don't do enough of the cat-and-mouse strategy and all the work that goes into it. You watch a broadcast and guys get the pitches wrong.

Sometimes shutting off the sound on the television can allow you to actually watch the game and take it in in an entirely different and more direct way - a first-order, first-person experience - rather than filtered through the mind of another.

I think if you checked the attendance records of all the announcers, you'd find a lot better record than you would of anybody else in any other business because we love the game and have a passion for it.

When you're playing, you're playing something for the world to hear.

Coaches have to watch for what they don't want to see and listen to what they don't want to hear.

Most people have to talk so they won't hear.

I enjoy playing the game. It's hard for me to just watch it, even while broadcasting.

I think listeners are hungry to hear quality.

I do something that I don't think anyone else does. I warm up before a game. Baseball and basketball players warm up, so why shouldn't the announcer warm up?

When you play, it's like you know that there are people out there who are hearing it for the first time, and I think that's really important.
